| Reverse description | A full-colour profile view of the Soviet KV-1 heavy tank is depicted centrally in the field, rendered against a camouflage-patterned background. The tank faces right, with its distinctive long gun barrel, wide tracks, and turret clearly detailed; a Cyrillic inscription 'ЗА РОДИНУ' ('For the Motherland') is visible on the turret side. The curved legend 'SOVIET HEAVY TANK' arcs along the upper periphery, with 'KV-1' inscribed immediately below. The production/service date range '1939-1942' appears in the lower centre field, and the legend 'ARMAMENT AND COMBAT EQUIPMENT' curves along the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
Zimbabwe has not issued a "shilling" denomination at any point in its post-independence monetary history — the country used dollars and cents after 1980, abandoned its own currency entirely in 2009, and introduced bond coins and RTGS dollars thereafter. A 2017 Zimbabwean shilling does not correspond to any documented official issue. Catalog this piece with caution; it may be a fantasy item, a pattern, or a misattributed novelty.
